Abstract: In recent years, Sanbanze has been drawing focussing attention on environmental rehabilitation. This study provides a more comprehensive understanding of coastal topographic change and variation of sediment conditions in this area. This understanding leads to a significant contribution to the rehabilitation of Sanbanze. The sedimentation processes occurring over the past 30 years were identified from surface sediment and column core samples, which were analyzed for the particle size distribution, carbon ratio, electrical conductivity and radioactivity in a total of 43 stations. It was concluded that the change in sedimentation processes was caused by reclamation as well as the formation of sandbars in the vicinity of Urayasu City. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
